Suggested load for 25 wcf

I figure this has been hashed out before, but I did a search and looked thru 25 pages in Reloading Single shot Rifles but found nothing.

So, my question is what loads seem to work?  I have several .25 cal molds but none under 105 grs.
Thanks
Phil

Thanks Ken.  Looks like I need to find some AA4100.  I was hoping 4227 would work like it does in my 25-20SS.

Wouldn't loads using 4227 or AA9 like I use in my 25-20SS work?

Thank Ken.  The problem is that I can't find any 4100 in my neck of the woods.  If the 4100 loads are quite a bit hotter then that brings up a whole new aspect since this rifle is a low wall.  Probably won't be shooting any competition with it, most likely just punching holes at 100 yds.  So maybe I don't need the higher velocity.

The claim to fame for the AA4100 is that it provides the same velocity with less pressure than AA-9. It is not what you would consider a hotter powder bases on pressure but just the opposite. The above used to be noted on Accurates Web site but has long since been removed. This is why it is such a good choice in powder for the smaller capacity cases. You can generaly get more velocity without experiencing excessive pressure with its use.
